Wil Wheaton is probably about my age (35) because when I read his recent post about going through his gaming library, I couldn’t help thinking that we loved the same freaking games! (I checked, he’s 36). As I read his stuff online, I see he’d have made a great gaming buddy. We could have ribbed […]
Review: “Soul Calibur IV”
Synopsis: Soul Calibur IV maintains the core gameplay of the Soul Calibur series and features a fun (if unintuitive) character creation system, but misses out on a number of features that would have improved the title overall. Notes: This review is from a free review copy of the Xbox 360 version. Gameplay: The fighting and […]
Kobold Love: Intro, Background and Summary, Part 2
Part 1 is here. Introduction. For nearly 40 years, adventurers have been investigating dungeons, killing their inhabitants and making off with their possessions. To this day, for many, this remains a respectable life. Others found that it got old and moved on to other forms of adventuring. But what about the dungeon denizens? Some would […]
1d1000 Posts
The day has finally arrived. This is officially our 1,000th post. (Or as joshx0rfz put it, l,ooo in reverse 1337. DID THAT JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?) While we’ll reserve much of the celebration for our third anniversary coming up in October (which may involve me spending a good deal of money to give the place […]
Epic Laundry Basket: Buried. Happy, but buried.
Projects are exploding. I’m solicited from multiple sides. My sideline “job” as a RPG writer is promising. All good! I’m writing the next Kobold Love post slowly and carefully so that I give you a good 1st draft. I hope to post it this week. Still good. TwittRPG is a success, but I won’t keep […]
4th Edition: Paragon Multi-Classing
Last Wednesday I took a more detailed look at heroic tier multi-classing in 4th Edition D&D, which included a fully multi-classed character at 10th level becoming roughly 2/3 primary class and 1/3 secondary class. Quite a lot of discussion surfaced after last week’s post, but one interesting point was made that the power-swap feats feel […]
YouTube of the Week: Let me tell you about my dire shark game Edition
Hey, this board game that the esteemed Tom Vasel reviews here sounds pretty good, and it’s about a shark the size of a person chasing and biting limbs. How’s that for a coincidence that this game would have a video review posted during Dire Shark Week?
Chatty’s Twitter RPG (TwittRPG): Beta Test
After one of my Twitter followers asked me innocently if I could create a Twitter Game World for them to play in, my brain literally exploded with possibilities… For those who don’t know what Twitter is, it’s mostly a micro-blogging platform where users can post little texts of no more than 140 characters long. It […]
Inquisition of the Week: Blogging?
Thanks for letting us know who you are! Not only do we like to attach the people to the online personas, but those of you who tell us what you like to read and what you don’t really help us determine what to write. Now that con season is over, it may be more difficult […]
Chatty’s Monthly Tips : Intro to Tropes
I have a monthly column on Johnn Four’s Roleplaying tips newsletter. This month, I adapted the material I wrote in our Gen Con 2008 GM-FU seminar to introduce his readers to the concept of tropes. Long time readers will notice that its a re-edition of some of my earlier posts. I’m re-posting it here because […]
